Guy keeps getting spam calls from phone's previous owner. then discovers the owner is his shady boss: 'He had almost 20 cases filed against him'

Imagine being infuriated by a mystery person for years only to discover that this mystery person is also your boss. It's a bizarre coincidence that is both surprising and unsurprising, in this case, given this dude's temperament and behavior at work.

Before we get into the employee's revenge, some backstory is necessary first. When the Redditor got their new phone, they immediately started getting a barrage of calls and messages from the phone's previous owner, who lived in the same town. He ended up blocking those numbers (for now). Not long after, the Redditor started working under a demanding and difficult manager. We'll let the Original Poster (OP) explain how he figured out that his new manager was also the previous owner of his phone. Keep scrolling below for the subsequent revenge and fallout when OP learned that his boss was up to no good.
